Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | April 2013 | Sacrifice your Independent Soul

Playasia don't have gravity daze soundtrack anymore, so I bought it off cdjapan instead. The eBay prices were through the roof. (More than double of what I'm paying)

I haven't bought a physical copy of a cd for 12 years since going digital.
 
I wonder if Yakuza will go to 3DS (betrayalthon!), wait for Vita to show signs of Vita in Japan, or just ignore handhelds entirely? The second Black Panther game was kind of a bomba:

[PSP] Yakuza: Black Panther (SEGA) - 174.213 / 287.700
[PSP] Yakuza: Black Panther PSP the Best (SEGA) - 2850 / 60.487
[PSP] Yakuza: Black Panther 2 (SEGA) - 104.937 / 176.388

Seemed odd to me that SEGA didn't release the Yakuza 1 & 2 HD Collection on Vita.

Hows the PS3 sales on this franchise?
 
Not sure if posted but;

Rayman Legends confirmed for PS VITA?

According to Spanish Retailer "FNAC", Ubisoft's Rayman Legends will be coming to Playstation VITA as well. The retailer has just updated their website with new listing of Rayman Legends for PS VITA (along with release date August 29).

Man the first one was a joy to play on Vita, can't wait for this one.

Good info. Last cd I imported was Auto Modellista ost. Gravity Rush did great songs though.

what happened with toto? did his coworker finally keep his vita too?

He's trying to sell his Vita.
 
Yeah, I don't understand how they're fitting the Jak trilogy on a 4GB card.
Maybe it's that Bink 2.0 video compression magic alongside efficient downscaling of assets. Or maybe they aren't? A case with room for two cards, or a 8 GB card could certainly happen at one point.
 
As good as fighters get.

It's only $14.99 too. Easy purchase for me.

$15 is rather expensive for a game with minimal single player content (standard arcade mode/training mode, I think) and possibly no online (or garbage online). There's several reasons I didn't buy it on PS3... and most of those will carry over to Vita (it was originally supposed to be released the last week of October, but it didn't so I didn't buy it to get my promo credit).
 
Thanks dude.

Right...quick question chaps...which is the best case to carry my Vita in?

After one month and I still don't have one... The one I really wanted was one of these two:

They were expensive and it seems impossible for me to find them, if anyone have some similar clean/simple alternatives please let me know.

Hmm not terrible numbers, but hardly numbers that would persuade a company to stay exclusive.

Is there some super agreement going on between Sega? Or just the general lack of any other HD console in Japan doing the same numbers as the PS3 (Pre-Wii U)?
 

That link's not even working for me. I would be extremely interested in Legends if it were to come to the Vita, though.

I've got my copy of Soul Sacrifice all done and preordered, think I may end up using the Japanese audio track after all.

Anyone planning on picking up Black Rock Shooter?
 
I really want Dragon Fantasy, but no EU release yet. :( Same for Nun Attack, and apparently Zombie Tycoon.

Thomas Was Alone on PS+ next week, though!

Hello CaptainTiptop,

Frima studio here, we have confirmed EU release date for Nun Attack on the Vita today, it's coming out on May 8th.

As for Zombie Tycoon 2, we've announced May 1st and we're on track as of now!
 
Are there any preorder bonuses worth noting for Soul Sacrifice? I think I'll probably get the digital release anyway as I still have a good bit of my 32GB card left, but if they are good enough I might just go physical.

Pretty sweet, I'm going shopping tomorrow to see what I can find (cheap!!)

The story mode is better than most(capcom) and it's +R. Even if it doesn't have online it's great to get if you intend to get the console release.

So toto is getting off the Vita train? Wonder what did him in?

Where are they supposed to port it ?
To xbox? ;)

Its about time!!! His rants got old a while ago

What is black rock shooter? Import?
 
Probably depression. Cuz that's pretty much what all his post sounds like. Depressing.

I was wondering why he posts the most out of any gaffer in all the vita threads, but every post is a nitpick about one thing or another. Almost like he was looking for fault in games
 
What is black rock shooter? Import?

PSP game from Imageepoch. Comes out tomorrow on US PSN for $19.99.

Japanese voice overs, and some costumes IIRC. That stuff should be available with the PSN version if you buy within the first two weeks in North America.

Those numbers are pretty good for a Japanese console series ... I was referring to the handheld games. Nagoshi's pretty much confirmed Yakuza will come to PS4, and it's not like it the Wii U can handle that.
 
Looks good but i dont think ill be buying anything beside soul sacrifice, that game demands my undivided attention. (And ni no kuni on ps3 for the light hearte side)

I'm always buying games and never playing them, that might happen with Black Rock Shooter. Wish I could just hold off on buying a game until I know I will have time to play, but but...I have to have it now.

Lol I know, I asked the question and knew the answer before I hit submit.

Tbh I don't follow JPN sales, nor do I know what's seen as good.
So is there some big party once a single entry in a series caps the million barrier? :p

These are still readily available from Amazon Japan for anyone who really wants them, but forwarding and shipping costs would probably be cost-prohibitive for just a case.

It's unfortunate that you're outside the US, because I'm placing a Vita-sized order from Amazon Japan like this week (maybe even tomorrow) and it wouldn't be a big deal to add this on since I'm already getting so much stuff. But shipping costs from me to you would probably not be worth it. :/
